wake up from dream

In the winter of Kangxi's 22nd year, the ground dragon burning in the house was very hot, and Ziqing had nothing to do, so she planned to go out for a stroll.Ever since Kangxi said that Rong Ruo and Ziqing should not get too close to each other as a bodyguard and Gege, the eunuchs and maids in the palace began to call Ziqing "Gege", although the identity of Gege is unknown, The identity is also unknown, but since Kangxi valued Ziqing, no one dared to underestimate Ziqing. Therefore, Ziqing lived a comfortable life, but after that time, Ziqing and Rong Ruo hardly had anything to do with each other again. When we meet together, the occasional encounter once or twice is also very cherished...

"Gege, put on the cloak, don't catch a cold." Bi Zhu chased out the door.

"Well, okay, Bizhu, you go back, I'll walk by myself." Ziqing pushed Bizhu into the house, Bizhu had no choice but to ask: "Gege, don't go too far, right now It’s cold, and it might snow soon.”

"Well, I see, let's go back quickly and ask Shang Yin'er to play for a while." Yin'er is the maid assigned to Ziqing by Kangxi. I gave Yin'er and Xiao Suzi to Ziqing.

It snowed all night last night, Ziqing walked all the way, the snow all over the ground brought her a good mood, almost two years have passed, the plan Rong Ruo said has been unable to be carried out, the reason is that Kangxi has a good opinion of Ziqing Very strict, if you are stupid, you have no chance to escape, so this plan had to be temporarily shelved a year ago.

"Rong Ruo?" The rare Zi Qing met Rong Ruo again this time, but he was not alone, so the two of them had no chance to talk. Zi Qing stood under the tree and looked at Rong Ruo from a distance. Rong led a pair of guards and walked towards Qianqing Palace in an orderly manner...

After that fight with Kangxi, Rong Ruo started to grow a beard and looked more mature, and his skin turned into a wheat color because he often ran around with Kangxi, but fortunately, he was still in good spirits.

"Since you grew a beard, I can't get used to it..." Zi Qing looked at the figure that was fading away, and said to herself.

"Not used to it yet." A man's voice suddenly sounded from behind Ziqing, making Ziqing jump.

"Why are you so scary all of a sudden?" Ziqing glared at Geng Juzhong, and Geng Juzhong sneered, and walked closer.

"He has been growing a beard for nearly two years, why are you still not used to it? Then I grow it, do you still get used to it?" Geng Juzhong stroked his beard and returned to his hippie smiling face, despite his age I'm getting older, but I always feel that this smiling face will never leave.A year ago, Geng Juzhong was recalled by Kangxi, and he was given a position in the palace, probably a casual job, because every time Ziqing went out, he would meet Geng Juzhong wandering around...

"If I don't like it, I just don't like it, and I don't like your beard! What kind of beard do you have at a young age?" Both Rong Ruo and Geng Juzhong are only in their 20s. After growing their beards, they said nicely, It's mature, but the truth is that it looks really old.

"Forget it, it's not for you to read alone. I don't care if you don't like it. How are you doing recently? It's still cold, why are you here alone? Where's the maid?"

"Recently, it's still the same as before, nothing changed. I just want to go for a walk alone. I'd feel uncomfortable if I have a servant girl with me. What happened to the matter I asked you to inquire about?" Zi Qing asked.

"We have to wait for Bai Ling's matter. It seems that the emperor has kept this matter very secretive, and we can't find any clues at the moment." Geng Juzhong approached Zi Qing and whispered.

"Well, how is Run Yi? Where's Ling Yun?"

"They are very good, but Run Yi is not free, and I am afraid that he will be held by this identity for the rest of his life..." Geng Juzhong's words revealed a kind of regret.

"Well, yes, I can't resign from that job, but it's good to be safe." Ziqing thought, and suddenly remembered that she heard that Lian'er was pregnant a while ago, so she asked: "How is Lian'er? A while ago, I heard that she is pregnant, how many months has it been?" Zi Qing asked Geng Juzhong with a smile, Geng Juzhong's face was flushed, and he didn't know if it was because of shyness or the wind.

"It's okay, I'm three months pregnant."

"Why is your face red?" Zi Qing joked with a smile.

"The wind is too strong, it blows too hard!" Geng Juzhong explained loudly, but he was suspected of trying to cover up.

"Really? Alright! Just trust you once!" Seeing Geng Juzhong's blushing face, Zi Qing had no choice but to let him go, wondering in her heart, she had never been so shy before...

"Go back quickly, don't stand outside for too long..."

"Well, then I'll go back, you can talk about Bailing..."

Before Ziqing finished speaking, Geng Juzhong took the lead and said: "Okay, I will investigate, and I will tell you when I find out."

"Ah."

Ziqing turned around and walked towards her yard, Ziqing who didn't look back at all couldn't notice the pair of sad eyes behind her were staring at her back...

Since she was honored as Gege, Ziqing also moved to Qingyuan. After all, a Gege has no reason to live in the Hall of Mental Cultivation. In this way, Ziqing is much freer.

"Gege is back?" Bizhu took Ziqing's cloak.

"Well, didn't you and Yin'er be asked to play? Why didn't you go?"

"Fortunately I didn't go, just now Liang Anda came to announce the emperor's oral order, saying that he will come to our Qingyuan for lunch in a while!" Yin'er came out from the inner room and said.

"Oh, then you all are ready to go!" Zi Qing's good mood early in the morning was ruined by the words again.

"Ge Ge, why is that expression again? What if someone sees it?" Yin'er is two years older than Bi Zhu, and she has a more cheerful temperament, because Zi Qing never sticks to their temperament, so she said There are not so many rules when it comes to talking, and the rules are usually only used when Kangxi comes.

"This is Qingyuan, where did the 'careful person' come from?" Ziqing retorted, then sat in the upper seat alone, and drank tea.Qingyuan has always been quiet and quiet, no one came to visit at all, this is also thanks to the decree issued by Kangxi, all the palace people have to go around when they see Ziqing, so no one set foot in Qingyuan .

"Come on, Qing'er, eat more, why does it seem like you've lost weight these days?" Kangxi picked up vegetables and put them in Ziqing's bowl.

"How can there be? Obviously she is fat..." Zi Qing retorted shamelessly.

"Oh? Could it be that I read it wrong?" Kangxi said with a smile.

"I said the emperor, even if we have such a meal together every day, we are not very familiar! Don't judge whether I am fat or thin?" Zi Qing put down the bowl and stared at Kangxi Said, it's really because I can't stand the feeling of Kangxi's gaze staying on me...

"Why are you not familiar with me? Then what does Qinger say to be familiar?" Kangxi looked at Ziqing playfully.

"In short, I'm not familiar with it!" Ziqing said angrily, feeling that she was digging a hole for herself to jump in, so she said with a flattering smile: "Let's eat, Your Majesty."

The ambiguous situation that Ziqing avoids for fear of not being able to, is always put on the table by Kangxi without showing any emotion, every time Ziqing has to change the topic silently...

"Still thinking about Rong Ruo?" Kangxi squinted at Zi Qing, his dark eyes couldn't see any waves.

"No..." Ziqing didn't want to anger Kangxi, every time she provoked him, Ziqing would not have a good life, so she became 'good'.

"Lying? There are not many people who dare to lie in front of me, especially women!" Kangxi put a mouthful of food into his mouth.

"No..." Ziqing could only persevere to the end, if she admitted to lying, how would Kangxi punish herself?

"No need to deny it, do you know why I am willing to give you such a long time?" Kangxi put down the bowl and turned to look at Ziqing.

"This... I don't know!" Zi Qing shook her head and said.

"I am willing to wait until the day you are willing to accept me. If you can't wait for a year, you can wait for two years. If you can't wait, you can wait for five years. If you can't, you can wait for ten years. You have to wait!" Kangxi's dark eyes tightly grasped Ziqing's, not allowing Ziqing to escape.

"Zi Qing thanked the emperor for the wrong love, but it is really impossible to fall in love with anyone in this life..." This life came for Rong Ruo, and she only loves Rong Ruo.

"I can wait."

Ziqing was surprised, she didn't wait for Kangxi's fury?

"Why is the emperor so persistent? Since you know you can't wait, why wait."

"I'm willing to wait!" Kangxi didn't answer Ziqing's question directly, but he admitted his persistence.

Unable to convince Kangxi, Ziqing had no choice but to give up, this person always has one or two things that make you very attached, maybe in the future you will slowly let go!Since Kangxi was willing to wait, Ziqing couldn't interfere, so she had to let things go...just two years later?Rong Ruo is dead, can Zi Qing continue to live indifferently like this?Thinking about it, it shouldn't be possible. She lives for Rong Ruo in this life. After Rong Ruo dies, the "sunshine" she lives on is gone. How can she survive?

"Zi Qing can't stop the emperor, the emperor can wait as long as he wants, but if one day, the emperor thinks it through, I hope the emperor can let Zi Qing go." Naturally, I hope that the day when Kangxi figured it out can be before Rong Ruo leaves Yes, so that they can fight for the last period of time to slowly pass away together...

"I don't think there will be that day. It's not that I can't figure it out, I won't regret it!" Kangxi said so firmly that Ziqing couldn't resist, so she had to listen quietly and wait slowly...
